Enormous Losses of Workmen and Operators
by the Recent Coke Strike.
PITTsBURG, July 22.-Ths coke strike just
ended was one of the most stubbornly contested
battles ever fought between capital and labor.
For eleven weeks and four days the fight went
on, and now that it is over the feeling between
the men and operators is. if anything, more cor
dial than it ever before The amount of
money lost by the long idleness cannot be
curately calculated, but it runs up into the mill
ions When the strike began four-ifths of the
IL, 600 men in the region had money of their
own, but very few of them have enough money
now to take them out of the district IL they want
ed to leave. For the first six weeks all of the

paid, including mine-boys at rs cents
day, and coal miners at from So 80
to So day, is 1925 Count
ing at that rate the mer lost during the first five
weeks 1858, 500 in wages Then Carnegie gave
the advance and 3, 900 men went to work. For
six weeks the remaining 5000 have been carry
ing the strike and have lost S442. 800, making
a total loss in wages of 1896 300 If sliding
scale equal to twelve and half per cent. advance
is arranged for them, it will take year and
nine months steady work to make up for the

clerks have been drawing salaries. and
mules and horses have been getting fat
